32 Webley rimfire revolver which must have been one of the first cartridge revolvers they made after their Smith and Wesson clones. There is a good chance that one of the screws you do have will tell you the size you need. You can find detailed specifications under "Screw threads" in Wikipedia, and screws and dies on eBay. I have seen that a few times, possibly because small metric dies were hard to buy off the peg in Belgium at the time. If it is Belgian the screws could still be in the British Whitworth thread, aka BSW, probably 1/8in. 450 Tranter cartridge (very much like a shorter. The term Bulldog is usually reserved for a smaller revolver with round butt and ovate barrel. Another point I mentioned is that the knob on the ejector rod is different from any often seen on Webleys. I don't see anything to prevent its being a Tranter original. Or heat it medium red in the open, not bright red, and drop it into oil. A half inch of tubing held together with bolts will do. It can be blued in the same way as the original probably was, by heating red-hot for some time in a closed vessel filled with bone meal. The inside edge would be straight, and doesn't have a little bump to fit the cartridge groove in the frame. A replacement would be a simple cut, file and polish job, and it doesn't need to be hardened. The loading gate can't work as it should, because it's missing. I suspect that one of being made from unfinished Belgian parts, but there is no evidence of this. 320 revolver, with the addition of church-steeple cylinder flutes and a hammer safety sometimes called the German Constabulary Model, by di Pietro of Palermo.

I don't believe proofmarks were mandatory in Spain or Italy at the time, and I have a similar. It would be very unusual for the British proofmarks to be missing, though, and the same ought to apply to Belgian ones. Webley did tend to apply a lot of markings, including their winged bullet logo, but Tranter possibly did so reather less, especially if they made revolvers on contract for somebody else.

Webley also went from octagonal barrel to round or egg-shaped quite early on, earlier than the fluted cylinder. That is a common feature, which I have on a. and there isn't one with the screwed-in hammer pivot through which the cover-plate screw enters from the right. I have looked through all the solid-frame pictures in Bruce and Reinhart's "Webley Revolvers". Original or copy, it looks more Tranter than Webley. It looks like a well designed revolver, well finished, and the action works. Unless the price was impulsive this looks like a good whim.
